Stellar Jay Portrait

Okay, I will admit that this is quite a stretch for getting red green and blue. No problems with the green and blue but the red is only in the mouth and a tiny bit on the seed… This is a difficult challenge for an avian photographer.

Is this a composite: No
ISO 10,000, 400+ 2X, F6 .3, 1000th, moderate crop, Sony A1

I reckon you’ve made the grade with your RGB. The bird is beautifully sharp and the background perfectly dreamy. I love how the background goes from yellow to green.

A great portrait!

This is a great challenge for an Aussie!

You are forgiven for only having the tiny bit of red! A gorgeous portrait of a beautiful bird. Well done and, yes, rGB!

David, I’m chuckling about the red in this excellent jay portrait…it is there, so it fits. :grinning:

Wonderful portrait with great light and detail, and a gorgeous BG!
